NEW! ROAD NUMBERS FOR 7 POPULAR PAINT SCHEMES OF THE PC&F 6033 BOXCAR

We are pleased to announce new Road Numbers of 7 popular Paint Schemes of the ExactRail PC&F 6033 Boxcar!

The Pacific Car & Foundry (PC&F) 6033 cubic capacity boxcar is one of the industry’s truly sleek and classy hy-cube boxcars.  The first order of PC&F 6033 boxcars went to the Southern Pacific in 1966, and the Union Pacific, Western Pacific, St. Louis Southwestern, and Southern Pacific railroads received new and additional lots in 1967.  In the early service years, PC&F 6033 was primarily employed in appliance and paper-loading assignments.  Now operating for privates, many of these cars are still in service today--some of which continue in patched SP/SSW and Alaska Railway paint schemes.

The ExactRail PC&F 6033 features the classic, double-sheathed construction, 3/3/3/1 dreadnaught ends, diagonal panel, overhanging roof, and single 10’-6” YSD sliding doors and Hydra-Cushion underbody detailing of the prototype.  ExactRail also accurately matches the 70-ton Barber S-2 trucks or ASF Ride Control trucks of the prototypes.

In April of 1966, Southern Pacific received the first delivery of 100 PC&F 6033 boxcars.  These cars were configured with Car-Pac loaders and did not receive specific service stencils.  The artwork has been massaged from our first release many years ago to represent the most accurate SP PC&F 6033 of this paint scheme.

In January of 1967, the Western Pacific purchased five PC&F 6033 boxcars for appliance service.

Cotton Belt Boxcar

In April of 1967, Cotton Belt received seven PC&F 6033 boxcars that were assigned to appliance service in Louisville, Kentucky. Like the 1966-delivered SP cars, they were outfitted with Car-Pac loaders.  The SSW cars had a different lettering style for the capacity and dimensional blocks from the SP cars.  And of course, you can expect that it is accurately match to the smallest details on our models.

The Andersons, Inc (BAEX) ex-SP 1967 patch scheme: 

BAEX HO Scale Box Car Model Train

The Andersons, Inc acquired PC&F 6033 boxcars in the second-hand market. These cars primarily consist of ex-SP 1967 cars with the large yellow door.  The Andersons re-stenciled the reporting marks and patched-out the Southern Pacific name.  ExactRail’s model is complete with double COTS blocks, U-1 wheel inspection stencil and ACI tags—all of which the SP would have applied post delivery.  The result is a car that wears its history on its car sides, and ExactRail’s cars have been accurately faded to represent an in-service car of more than 30 years.

Hi there,

Can I order these direct from you as there is no dealer in the UK?

Thanks,
